He is 65, diagnosed with PD 10 years ago. His head wagging increases when he gets excited (ie, watching sports on TV or into a good conversation). He doesn't seem to be aware he is doing it - when we point it out he seems to be able to control it. He does not have an essential tremour except slightly in his fingers. Brenda Rankin
